    Thermostat or Coolant sensor?

    2000 A4, b5 shape. Car heats up to 90 and stays there no probs (confirmed by air con trick) but the dial is VERY slow (45mins) to get to 90 Or it will get to 90 and then drop. Shall I replace both, or rule one out first.? Heard to only use OEM parts, anyone have an idea of price? Thanks!
